Whether you're packing up the kids for a family holiday or jetting off for some alone time with a partner, don’t run the risk of paying thousands of pounds for emergency medical treatment if you get ill or injured whilst abroad - travel insurance could take care of your personal possessions and unexpected holiday cancellations.

It’s strongly recommended to get your travel insurance in advance as you might not fully benefit from cancellation cover (In 2012, 16% of people bought travel insurance through Confused.com the day before travelling, meaning that they could have potentially missed out on cover for cancellations).

If you’re going on a family holiday, it’s worth noting that family policies are limited for up to 2 adults and 8 children who should be under the age of 18.
